My Name
I would like to find out where my name comes from and if it has any meaning. I was told that I was named after a German Nun who spelled her name as Garno, and mine was changed to have an a on the end instead of an o. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

It may be an Americanized spelling of ...Garneau
French: from a pet form of the Germanic personal name Warinwald, composed of the elements war(in) ‘guard’ + waldan ‘to govern’.
